Better than many proprietary clamps IME - if the light slips, simply buy another O-ring maybe smaller or of a thicker section. A decent grade of rubber or the right size should last for years and is cheap to replace.

Same here , these are a worthy addition and when rattling off road on an old rusty rigid the light stays put. Previously with the rubber bands I kept lighting up the bb and the floor and not being able to see anything, this mount will actually make you ride faster

Never had any issues with the "rubber band" mount myself on a older magicshine - the weight of the lamp unit is fairly central so wasn't constantly trying to dip.

Mine came with two bands, one for narrower diameter bars, one for wider. That it wasn't "locked" in position, also meant you could adjust the angle to suit the conditions off road, and could "dip" easily when on the road/encountering cyclist coming the other way.

Used mine twice off road on night races. First time was dry weather, it was fine and i was pleasantly surprised how secure it was. Second time it was raining and the lamp gradually slipped with the vibrations, i had to keep pulling it up again, it was annoying and a bit dangerous at times (dark, descending, one hand off the grips). Worst of all the movement caused the alloy foot of the lamp with it's inadequately thin foam pad put nasty deep scratches in my previously immaculate 18 year old polished flat bar I should've taped the bar first i guess. Maybe this type of fitting is more secure on rough/matt finished bars than polished ones - in the wet.
